Hi,
I am trying to test relevancy of results with the q.alt field on a Dismax
Request Handler. Term level boosting based on bq information in
solrconfig.xml works fine. However field level boosting based on the qf
information in solrconfig.xml doesn't seem to work.

Query
q=&q.alt=for&rows=1000&qt=dismaxrequest

This is contradictory to the fact that I have applied a higher boost to
strapline_product_s (10000) as compared to prdMainSubTitle_product_s (100)
in the dismax configuration; which is given below.

The same thing works as expected when "for" is used in the q field -
